Huda Fahmy has mapped out her junior year perfectly. She will join every club, volunteer at multiple organizations, score high on the ACTs, and craft scholarship essays that will secure her future. Then her parents deliver shocking news. They are getting a divorce. The announcement shatters Huda's carefully constructed plans and leaves her reeling. She struggles with fears about her family's stability, their standing in the Muslim community, and what this upheaval means for her own prospects. Her academic performance begins to slip. A major conflict erupts with her closest friend. Everything that once felt manageable now spirals beyond her control. As Huda navigates this new reality, she must confront whether her life will ever return to the stability she once knew.
